“You devil! I didn’t even have time to do anything…”
Skye instinctively retorted, but Aaron responded with an “Oh,” “So you admit you were planning to do something!”
“Tell me, who gave the Rising Tide organization the task?”
Aaron stared directly into her eyes, activating his super-perception, super-vision, and vibration sensing.
If Skye had any intention of lying, it would be instantly detected.
Although Aaron hadn’t received any training in interrogation or micro-expressions,
anyone who possessed so many abilities could easily determine whether someone was telling the truth.
Even the world’s top agents wouldn’t be able to deceive him!
Moreover, Skye was just a fledgling, a simple, ordinary person with a decent hacking skill.
Oh no, her genes were a bit different; after all, she was an Inhuman.
Skye remained speechless.
“Think carefully about the consequences. I can hand you over to the police at any time. Considering the hundreds of millions in losses and our annual donations and taxes, trust me, the police and the court will definitely enforce the law fairly!”
“I’ll say a number, ten years!”
“If I say you’ll be locked up for ten years, it will be exactly ten years, no more, no less!”
In this country where money is everything, nothing but death can’t be solved with money.
With enough money, you can even run for president or get Congress to change or add laws.
Ever heard of the Anti-Squid Awareness Act?
Hearing this, Skye was shocked. “You… how can you do this! This is framing! This is slander! I’m going to sue you for slander!”
“Are you saying that I, a rising star with a net worth of hundreds of billions, would slander a hacker thief who randomly breaks into other people’s companies?”
“Who do you think the public is more likely to believe?”
Aaron said earnestly.
Skye looked conflicted. “Okay, I don’t know who issued the task. This was a task Rising Tide gave me. I was just earning some part-time money while completing my studies…”
“They wanted me to find out about your company’s research on limb regeneration agents and whether you were conducting inhumane human experiments.”
“Especially you… you used some extraordinary power at the board meeting. Once it’s confirmed that you’re illegally conducting human experiments researching certain demonic abilities, then…”
“Then you’ll make it public and let the law judge me?”
Aaron couldn’t help but laugh. “What a silly girl!”
Skye retorted indignantly, “I’m upholding the people’s right to know, I’m serving the people! Big companies like you must accept public supervision!”
“Really? Have you researched Pioneer Technology?”
“Do you know what they’re doing?”
“Rising Tide? Serving the people? Hahaha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!”
Aaron found Skye’s explanation genuinely amusing.
What nonsense about serving the people? Where are there so many non-profit organizations that generate electricity with love and serve the people?
He knew better than anyone what Rising Tide was!
A hacker organization that dared to disregard the law and violate morality as long as they were paid enough.
The so-called serving the people was just self-promotion.
It only fooled naive girls like Skye.
Anyone who had been in society for a few days would never believe such nonsense.
All the world is a hustle for profit, all the bustle for gain.
The ancients had already made it clear.
The whole world was just a giant makeshift stage, and profit was what they were fighting for!
Even Aaron himself…
Contemporary Einstein? Pioneer of human civilization? Pioneer of the medical industry?
Please, he couldn’t care less what these people thought.
“Alright, I see you don’t know anything. You’re just an angry youth being kept in the dark.”
“Come with me!”
Aaron stopped asking. He was certain Skye wasn’t lying, and continuing to ask was pointless.
Rising Tide? A hacker organization that came and went like a dragon? Heh, if they dared to offend him, Aaron, they couldn’t blame him!
Skye was stunned. “D-Do what?”
“You!”
“Huh?”
Aaron looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “Now that you’re here, wouldn’t it be a waste to leave without taking a look?”
“Didn’t you want to see what we’re doing? Come, I’ll take you to see for yourself!”
Without allowing Skye to refuse, Aaron grabbed her and headed towards the building.
The tiger has no intention of hurting people, but people have the heart to harm the tiger.
Regardless of Skye’s initial intentions, now that she had entered this door, she shouldn’t think about leaving easily.
At the same time, he connected his brain to the nearby signal and sent a text message to Felicia, asking her to drive the car to an uninhabited area.
Skye was unwilling. She felt that the Osborn Building was like a primordial beast with its mouth open, easy to enter, hard to exit.
She wanted to leave, but Aaron’s hand was as immovable as an iron pincer.
Skye was forced to enter the building. Under the curious gaze of others,
Aaron led her to the laboratory building.
“Boss!”
It was still Norman.
Noticing Skye beside Aaron, Norman looked at her curiously and said, “I’ve already contacted Dr. Helen Cho. She’ll arrive on time at three o’clock this afternoon.”
Aaron nodded and glanced at someone in the distance who was peering over.
Norman looked over and quickly said, “That’s the secretary of the U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff. He’s here for that matter.”
Aaron understood. “Our Air Force Chief of Staff is so impatient?”
“After all, he’s getting old, and it’s rumored that he recently developed lung cancer. Although it hasn’t been confirmed, it’s likely true.”
“Anyway, he attaches great importance to our research and hopes to have his secretary help out so that we can contact him at any time if we need anything.”
“Fighter jets are also no problem?” Aaron had an inspiration.
He had many abilities now, but he lacked the ability to fly.
Spider-silk was good, but it was still far from flying.
Aaron had thought about melting down some flying units.
For example, frigatebirds or peregrine falcons that could break the speed of sound.
However, comparatively,
it would be better to just get fighter jets.
Norman hesitated, glancing at Aaron’s skin color, and then thought, “No problem. Any other requests?”
Aaron said without thinking, “The faster the better, the more advanced the better!”
Norman nodded and turned to say a few words to the other person.
Skye rolled her eyes. “Can’t you tell? You’re Asian. The Air Force General won’t agree to such an outrageous request.”
That was tantamount to treason!
She believed that the brave and fearless general would never accept such a request!
Aaron said mysteriously, “That’s not necessarily true.”
Before long,
the man walked over and shook Aaron’s hand warmly.
“Mr. Aaron, I heard from Mr. Norman that you’re currently lacking a vehicle befitting your status. General Ronald felt immediately that someone as outstanding as you needs a vehicle that is good enough!”
“For example… a fighter jet!”
“We are willing to provide you with a fighter jet as your vehicle, absolutely no less than Mr. Stark’s armor!”
Under Skye’s shocked, surprised, and unbelievable gaze, the secretary continued:
“So Mr. Aaron, do you need the better-performing F-22 or the faster F-15?”
“Of course, we also have the faster YF-12A interceptor and Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft here, but considering that they are decades-old, they don’t match your status…”
“No! You can’t do this! This… this is treason!”
Skye felt her worldview being impacted!
Was this still the military she remembered?
Blatant treason?!
The secretary looked at Skye suspiciously, as if to say, isn’t this woman one of us?
“Never mind her.”
Aaron shook his head. “Let’s continue.”
The secretary nodded, thought for a moment, and said, “This lady, Mr. Aaron is the most outstanding person in the United States, and also a major taxpayer, a patriot, please don’t slander us!”
“We are just representing the Air Force to express our condolences to Mr. Aaron!”
This absurd remark left Skye speechless!
Oh no, America is doomed!
Aaron thought for a moment. “I want them all!”
The secretary was stunned, and a slightly old voice came from his headset.
“Agree to him!”
The secretary immediately returned to normal. “No problem, we are happy to serve you!”
“Just…”
“Help me thank General Ronald. This afternoon, Mr. Norman will send him a gift!”
Aaron glanced at Skye and added, “This is an early Christmas gift, a unique and perfect gift!”
“I believe General Ronald will be happily ten years younger!”
The secretary could feel the heavy breathing coming from his ear.
He smiled. “Then thank you for your generosity!”
Skye was dumbfounded.
I want to report them for blatant backroom deals!
A Christmas gift? It’s only freaking May now!
You… you have to make your excuses logical, for f***’s sake!!
PS: New book uploaded, seeking flowers, monthly tickets, evaluation tickets!!!!
The picture in the previous chapter was taken away by the evil censorship, and another one was added. It may also be taken away. Read it as soon as you can. Weakly asking, is this 3,000-word chapter considered two chapters?
